Exclude linelength rule from google-java-format?

[tisonkun]

I'm satisfied with GJF except linelength ≤ 80 is too strict for me.

I wonder if I can apply GJF with one exception - no limit on linelength or extend to 180?

Welcome, @tisonkun!

This is a known and intentional limitation of GJF. See their FAQ for more information. (On reading it, it seems to say that the max line length is actually 100, interestingly enough.)

Sorry I couldn't give you a satisfying answer. :(

If you need longer line lengths, consider palantir-java-format which has a 120 max line length, or Eclipse JDT, which has all the flexibility of Eclipse IDE's own formatter but needs more setup (although you can follow these instructions if you wish, or use JUnit 5's config files as a base as long as you follow their open source license.)

I hope this helps.
